Pedestrian Accidents in Colorado
Pedestrian accidents remain a serious concern in Denver and throughout Colorado, especially in urban areas where foot traffic is high. Roadways like E 47th St see frequent pedestrian activity, increasing the risk of collisions involving vehicles.
According to the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT), pedestrian-involved crashes have been rising in recent years, with many incidents caused by distracted driving, failure to yield, and poor visibility at night. Pedestrians are at a heightened risk of serious injury, even in relatively low-speed collisions, due to the lack of protection compared to vehicle occupants.
Drivers are urged to stay vigilant, particularly in areas with heavy foot traffic, and pedestrians are encouraged to use crosswalks and remain aware of their surroundings. If negligence played a role in the crash, victims may have legal options to seek compensation for medical expenses and other damages.
